ATLANTA — Manheim locations across the country were honored by customers for outstanding performance at the 67th annual National Auto Auction Association convention, held last week in Orlando, Fla. Twelve different locations earned a total 16 awards for various aspect of vehicle remarketing, including customer service, sales volume and operational excellence.

Chase Auto Finance honored five Manheim locations as part of its 17th Annual Chase Cup for Auction Excellence Awards, which are based on a performance review of 31 of the nation’s top auto actions in areas such as retention, operational efficiency, expense control, accuracy, sales and service delivery.

Manheim Minneapolis earned the Best National Auction Performance award and was recognized for the best regional performance in the Midwest. Manheim Seattle also received national and regional honors, including Best Regional Performance for the West region and Best National Mazda Sales.

Additionally, Manheim Pennsylvania received an award for Best National Jaguar Sales, while Manheim Riverside received the Best National Land Rover Sales. Manheim Pittsburgh also received Best Regional Performance for the Northeastern region.

“These awards are a testament to our locations’ commitment to delivering top-notch customer service and sales results,” said Janet Barnard, president of Manheim North America. “We are honored to receive these awards and we are so very proud of the teams who earned them.”

A Cox Automotive survey found that dealers are even more certain than consumers that emerging trends will reduce vehicle sales, but few believe mobility will bring about the end of the current auto retail model.

Chris Gugliotta, a former executive with Dealer.com and Lithia Motors, has joined the startup as head of strategic partnerships. He will be responsible for leveraging Driver Motors’ digital retailing tools for the industry’s largest finance sources and vehicle OEMs.
